Allu Arjun has officially started shooting for his highly anticipated 22nd film, marking his first collaboration with hit director Atlee. Tentatively titled AA22xA6, the film began production on June 12 in Mumbai with a traditional pooja ceremony, followed by the start of principal photography. The project has already created a buzz among fans, as it brings together two major names in South Indian cinema.
Mrunal Thakur has joined the team for the film’s initial schedule and has already begun filming her scenes alongside Allu Arjun. This is Mrunal’s first project with the actor, and her inclusion has further boosted excitement around the film. Meanwhile, Deepika Padukone is also part of the cast but is expected to join the shoot at a later stage.
Earlier this month, a special announcement video was released by the team introducing Deepika as part of the film. In the video, she is seen discussing the script with Atlee and preparing for her role. The visuals hinted at an intense, action-driven role for the Bollywood star, with the makers calling her a queen ready to conquer.
AA22xA6 is being described as a mass action entertainer with high-energy drama, stylish visuals, and powerful performances. Produced on a grand scale, the film promises to be a major cinematic event, combining Atlee’s larger-than-life storytelling with Allu Arjun’s star power.
